[cl-debian] Bug#340250: clisp: Package contains invalid link for base/lispinit.mem

Package: clisp Version: 2.35-8 Severity: important The clisp package contains an invalid symbolic link: /usr/lib/clisp/base/lispinit.mem --> ../full/lispinit.mem The file /usr/lib/clisp/full/lispinit-orig.mem DOES exist, but consequently clisp fails to start up, giving the user the following error: /usr/lib/clisp/base/lisp.run: operating system error during load of initialization file `/usr/lib/clisp/base/lispinit.mem' [spvw_memfile.d:834] errno = ENOENT: No such file or directory. It seems like simply renaming lispinit-orig.mem to lispinit.mem in the packaging should do the trick, unless I'm missing something.

Well. During configuration, clisp uses the -orig file to load and install common-lisp-controller and then priduce the lispinit.mem file. But be aware the common-lisp-controller before version 4.26 would not correctly propagate a failure to configure back to dpkg, so the packaging system might think clisp got configured while in fact it did not. Could you try to run /usr/sbin/register-common-lisp-implementation "clisp" as root and report the generated output? Does it still fail after this?

What package is /usr/sbin/register-common-lisp-implementation supposed to be in? It's not in clisp or clisp-dev. Thanks, - robin Peter Van Eynde (pvaneynd@debian.org) wrote on 05:28:47AM 22/11/05:

common-lisp-controller get version >= 4.26 or the failure to configure an implementation will not be reported back to dpkg.

Ehm... why doesn't clisp declare a dependency on common-lisp-controller anymore? On Wed, Nov 23, 2005 at 05:33:22AM +0100, Peter Van Eynde wrote:
